BME communities will become majority in Britain by 2070

The Migration Observatory at the University of Oxford revealed that black and minority groups will make up 40 per cent of Britain’s population by 2050.

By 2070, it is expected that the indigenous white British people will be in the minority, however, these projections do not include the impact of current or future government attempts to reduce net migration.

Professor Coleman, who led the study, said: “Migration has become the primary driver of demographic change in most high-income countries and may remain so.
